The Taste Of A Man | Slavenka Drakulic

3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read

One autumn in New York, a young Polish poet, studying literature, and a Brazilian anthropologist researching a new book, meet, fall in love and move into a tiny apartment together. Tereza has a lover waiting for her in Poland, Jose a wife and child in Sao Paulo, and it would seem this could only be the most temporary of affairs. Yet there emerges the mesmerizingly explicit portrait of a relationship conducted at the extreme edge of sensuality, defying conventional definition. With no common language, exiled from their culture, for each of them the body of the other becomes everything: spirituality, sustenance, almost unbearable pleasure. Breathtakingly erotic, intensely physical, profoundly intelligent, THE TASTE OF A MAN pursues a path traced by a love based on pure appetite with shameless and unflinching candour, to its ecstatic and terrible conclusion.

So beautiful , yet so dark. I savored every last word and then read it to my Brazilian boyfriend who loved it too ( but also gave me some serious “side-eye” at certain parts 😅).

Maude @Cinfhen , there's that, but without giving spoilers, all I can say is I hope none of us aspire to this type of relationship 😦 7y

You know when you remember the barest gist of a plot, but you can't remember the title or the author or any specific details? That happened this morning. But I found it! Putting it back on my TBR so I can enjoy this story again.
